Reliable and Better Than Expected
It’s a good computer. It hasn’t given me any issues so far, and I’m really glad I purchased it. I originally got it after a freak water-damage accident with my last laptop, but this one has been a great replacement. It’s bigger than I expected, but I don’t have any complaints.

Wannabe gamers attempt at designing a workstation.
Lenovo deleted my review from earlier so I'll post again.
A workstation without lan port is not a workstation it's an insult to professional. Whoever designed this abomination of a brick doesn't understand what a workstation is.

Great Unit
The P16 is a really nice Work Station. It is pretty heavy when I took it out of the box. I like how it has the fingerprint unlock on the power button and the screen is very clear.
It’s been working flawlessly since I received it but I still have a few upgrades in mind. I’m going to upgrade the memory to 128gb and the Storage to 4TB.

My Favorite Laptop for DJ work
This is my 3rd Thinkpad and my 2nd Thinkpad workstation. I use it for music production, mobile DJing, and livestreams and it’s perfect. It handles 2-3 additional displays (needed to manage livestreams), and supports real-time stems. The screen is very bright and crystal clear - and shows up so nicely in outdoor venues. This is much better than a Mac (even the M3) as it ...

Skip the gimmicks and go ThinkPad.
I’ve been a ThinkPad user since 2014, and when it finally came time to replace my old one, there was never a question—I went straight back to Lenovo. My previous ThinkPad lasted me over a decade of daily use without ever letting me down, and this new one continues that same tradition of reliability, performance, and durability.

Disappointed with display management
Strong laptop with strong hardware, but it seems certain parts are not compatible, for example, there are issues with compatibility between internal (CPU) graphic card and NVDA graphic card. Given that I bought this laptop because I wanted to connect 3 or 4 external monitors to my laptop, the fact that it cannot even handle 3 monitors properly is very disappointing

Response from Staples :
Hello Bennie, Thank you for sharing your feedback and we apologize for the issues you've encountered with ThinkPad P16 Gen 2. The ThinkPad P16's NVIDIA card and the system's integrated graphics may appear incompatible due to incorrect driver versions, incorrect BIOS or operating system settings, or software conflicts. To resolve this, first update the NVIDIA driver, check the BIOS/UEFI for NVIDIA settings to ensure the card is enabled and not set to integrated graphics only, and confirm there are no pending Windows/OS updates. If the issue persists after following these steps, we recommend reaching out to our tech support team at 1-855-253-6686. We're committed to ensuring your satisfaction and appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter. Regards, Thomas, Lenovo

Power machine, but
It's a powerful machine, but it's heavy and it's loud. Our 11-person interior design team had a choice of two Lenovo laptops: the ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 Intel (16") Mobile Workstation and the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 Intel (16″) Mobile Workstation. One designer out of 11 chose the P16. The P16 is just too heavy to be transported easily between meetings and the office. It is...

Response from Staples :
Hello Linda,
Thank you for your detailed feedback and for sharing your team’s experience with the ThinkPad P16 Gen 2. We’re glad to hear you found it powerful—performance is a key strength of the P16. That said, we understand your concerns about portability and noise. The P16 is designed as a high-performance mobile workstation, which can result in a heavier build and active cooling during intensive tasks like rendering. For teams frequently on the move, the P1 Gen 7 may indeed be a more suitable choice due to its lighter design and quieter operation.
Your input is incredibly valuable, especially coming from a professional design team. We’ll make sure it reaches the product team to help guide future improvements. If you have any questions, you can reach out to us at 1-855-253-6686.
Regards,
Thomas, Lenovo

Powerful workstation
Lenovo 16 inch workstation I recently purchased works well. I often run huge data files, with multiple tasks conducted at the same time. Previously model from other company, similar to this, crushed oftentimes, but this one has been doing very well.

Solid work station
This is a solid workstation built into the frame of a laptop. While not as powerful as a desktop, it is not too far behind.
